Shubman Gill IPL runs year by year tell the story of a young opener who grew into one of the most reliable batters in the league. He started at Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 with 203 runs. By 2023 he was the Orange Cap winner with 890 runs for Gujarat Titans. Through the 2026 season he has scored 4,598 runs in 134 IPL matches, with five centuries and 32 fifties to his name.
Gill made his IPL debut in 2018, shortly after starring for India at the Under 19 World Cup. His early seasons were steady rather than spectacular. He passed 400 runs for the first time in 2020, then moved to Gujarat Titans in 2022 and won the title in his first season with the new team. The next season changed everything. His 890 runs in 2023 remain the second highest total in a single IPL season, behind only Virat Kohli with 973 runs in 2016.
Since then Gill has stayed near the top of the batting charts. He became Gujarat Titans captain in 2024, scored 650 runs in 2025, and followed that with 732 runs in 2026 at his best season strike rate. This article gives his full season by season record, his best seasons ranked, and the key moments behind the numbers.

Gill began at Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018. He played in the middle order at times in that first season, which explains why his match count is higher than his innings count in some early records. His 203 runs came at a strike rate of 146.04, a sign of the intent that would later define his batting. In 2019 he improved to 296 runs, and in 2020 he crossed 400 runs for the first time with 440 runs.
The 2021 season brought 478 runs and a place in the Kolkata Knight Riders side that reached the final. Gill then moved to Gujarat Titans for their first season in 2022. He scored 483 runs and finished that season as an IPL champion. His top score that year was 96, just short of a first IPL century.
That century wait ended in style in 2023. Gill scored three centuries in one season, won the Orange Cap with 890 runs, and played one of the great playoff knocks with 129 against Mumbai Indians. His average of 59.33 and strike rate of 157.80 in that season show that he scored big runs and scored them fast.
Gill took over as Gujarat Titans captain in 2024. He scored 426 runs in 12 matches that year, including a century. The team season was tougher, but his own form stayed strong. In 2025 he answered with 650 runs at an average of 50.00 and a strike rate of 155.88, with six fifties and no century, which shows how often he turned starts into big scores without needing a hundred to do damage.
His 2026 season added another strong chapter. Gill scored 732 runs in 16 matches, with one century, six fifties, 74 fours and 33 sixes. His strike rate of 163.03 was the best of his IPL career for a full season. Taken together, his last four seasons from 2023 to 2026 brought 2,698 runs, which is well over half of his career total.
What This Record Tells Us
Gill is not a one season wonder. His career splits into two clear parts. The Kolkata Knight Riders years built his base, with run totals rising from 203 to 478. The Gujarat Titans years turned that base into elite output, with 890, 426, 650 and 732 runs in four seasons.
His strike rate tells the second part of the story. Early in his career he often scored at around 118 to 124. From 2023 onward he has scored at 147 or higher in every season, and above 155 in three of those four seasons. That change matters because it means he now scores quickly without giving up consistency. His average stayed above 38 in each of those four seasons.
The record also shows his value as an opener. He has five centuries in the IPL, and three of them came in a single season in 2023.
